As a pioneer and national leader, VITAS has set the set the standard for hospice and palliative care for more than four decades. Our ability to grow and thrive in a challenging healthcare environment is a result of our solid foundation, deep roots, and commitment to evolve as the needs of our patients and their families change.

We have spent 45+ years fine-tuning our approach to empower patients, which often means allowing them to remain in their preferred environment. Today, we provide hospice and palliative care in any location — including a patient’s home — without compromising the quality or acuity level needed to manage symptoms, no matter how complex or challenging.

Patients are our priority and our privilege. We will continue to explore innovative ways to help them navigate the end-of-life journey, while we support caregivers and encourage clinical providers to initiate goal of care discussions. As a mission-driven organization at the forefront of our specialty, we will work to amplify that message so all patients with life-limiting illness receive the care they deserve in their final months, weeks, and days.
